Public service unions collectively resolved to suspend the strike for 21-days last month following governments revised final offer of 7.5% Salary-Increase and R800 Housing-Allowance, period lapsed on Sep 27. The government signed the draft agreement on September 13, while unions were given till October 12 to conclude the signing.<\/p>\n
Pending the suspension, renegotiations continued through a series of meetings between the government and unions, main issues being the partial amendment of the RESOLUTION NO OF 2010. Unions objected to; the final written warnings to essential services who participated in the strike. An objection was supported for this would have been prejudicial to employees; allowing the government to dismissed employees for similar misconducts in future if committed within that period.<\/p>\n
Secondly, the once-off salary deductions for ‘NO WORK NO PAY’ for employees on strike for 4-days or less, was replaced with staggered deductions over a period of three months based on working hours lost, calculated as follows 1-day (annual basic salary\/365).<\/p>\n
Parties further concluded to ‘return to 1 April for future salary adjustments’; the general salary adjustment for 2011 will be with effect from 1 May 2011; while 2012 salary adjustments will be with effect from 1 April 2012.<\/p>\n
The majority of members in favour of the final offer gave National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers a go-ahead as per the consultation. The striking outcome still remains a victory and the housing-allowance offer is the first step in security stable living environment.<\/p>\n
